How can I write my options on the left side and allow respondents to write in the write side.

Hi @MCchua 

I have tried to create something similar using matrix table 

Hi @Gaurav_27 thank you for sharing however I have 15 main topics and some only have 1 category under it. So I think it’s best to format it from top to bottom (like list, shown in the screenshot).

Hi @MCchua 

Refer this 

hi @Gaurav_27 this is great!!! can you share a screenshot of the settings you did for the layout of the matrix table? i will try to recreate one

@Gaurav_27 How do I insert “topic 1” and make sure that the boxes are for category 1 and 2?

I tried adding matrix table and had this look

Hi @MCchua 

You can follow below step to recreate the question:

1. select the matrix type question.
2. change the matrix type from ‘likert’ to ‘text entry’
3. Now remove all the statements
4. Add a ‘Add statement group’ under Format for creating topics 

   

   5. you can rename the group by clicking on it.
   6. Now add the  no of statement you require under that topic
   7. click again on ‘Add statement group’ to add next topic.
   8. Repeat step 6 to create the categories

wow that is a detailed guide. Thank you so much @Gaurav_27 you’re a heaven sent! I will try this now.

Hi again @Gaurav_27, I tried adding the add statement group, it is working.

however when I tried to preview it, the “topic” is not showing

Oh!!

Seems like some custom coding is required to display statement group.

I will try and let you know

Thank you @Gaurav_27 for helping as I’m not accustom to creating codes etc. Hope we can find a solution. Thank you so much

Hello!

No code is needed, something is wrong in your setup somewhere. Are you using custom css or theming?

The following setup gives me the desired result :

Hi @vgayraud can you share the set up you used? I believe I haven’t use any coding yet.

Thank you. I would try to create a new blank survey so I can try 

I think you didn’t assign your choices to your groups.

Hi @vgayraud oh yes I haven’t done that! I will try and let you know if that works. Thank you so much 

yes totally forgot to assign the group.

Thanks @vgayraud for the info.

We can accomplish this by using the Matrix Table question type and assigning the items as groups.
